Seeing things

    "... I always play a game at exhibitions. I scan each room from the doorway. I ask myself which piece I'd like to take home, which one I'd like to know more about, and which one I like least. And I make sure that when I enter I give all three equal attention. That way, I get to examine my own preferences and prejudices; I learn something I might not have learned otherwise; and sometimes it means I get to reflect and meditate on the nature of beauty."

A more laudable version of the game I used to play to get the children interested - which one would you steal.
